Free Resume Outline - DOC - DOC by CrisologaLapuz

A resume is much more than a piece of paper. It is the ticket to getting the job you are applying for. Considering that this is a job you truly desire you might want to have one handy. There is no such thing as the perfect resume. However there are bad ones, and here is how you can avoid them. Your heading should include your name and contact information. Contact information should include your phone number, e-mail address, and your home address.The next section should include your job objective. What is it that you are applying for. You should not be applying for Job “A” if you have expertise in Job “B”. After your job objective you should have your education history. Employers may look for future employees with a bachelor’s degree in a certain field. A company that is looking for someone to work in public relations may want someone who has a bachelors in communications.Your final section should have your employment history. Employers will look for length of employment, how many employers have you had, and what companies you worked under that relate to the field you are applying for. You could include references, history of salary, and what wages you are expecting.

A resume is one of the most important documents you will ever
create
First you have to decide on a particular format for your resume. The two
main formats in use today are chronological and functional format. Which
one is best to use will depend greatly on your situation.
To build your resume you can use free resume forms located on the web.
This can provide you with directions if you are having trouble building your
resume.
A sample resume outline would include the following sections:
The Heading
Your resume should start with the heading. You can list your basic details so
the employer can contact you. You can include your name, address,
telephone number and e-mail address.
NAME
ADDRESS
PHONE NUMBER
EMAIL ADDRESS
Job Objective
This is an optional section of your resume outline. Here you can tell readers
what the objective of your resume is and what you are looking for.
Example:
Entry-level accounting position with medium to large public accounting firm.
The "Body" is the largest section of your resume outline
This is where you can enter details about your education, work experience
and additional information. The body contains:
Education
Here you can list your educational background.
Educational Background Format:College, Degree, Major, Honors,
Relevant Courses
Sample Education Section:Drexel University
BA Educational Leadership, May 2000
If you have a college education, do not list your high school information. You
can also list any honors for academic excellence in this section of your
resume outline.
If you are a graduating senior or looking for an internship, you can add a
relevant courses section to your resume outline.
Employment History
This is an important part of the resume. Here you can list your previous
employment history. If you are using a chronological resume format, you
should list the most recent job positions first on your resume outline.
Example:
Drug Emporium, Wayne, PA
Cashier, June to September, 2001
Supervised customer check out
Handled the cash register
Managed and stocked merchandise
You can also list relevant volunteer activities or work experience programs if
you do not have much job experience.
Achievements
If you have any special achievements you would like to announce, you can
use this section. Maybe you made a suggestion that saved your previous
boss a ton of money. You can list it in this section of your resume outline.
Special Skills
The remaining sections of the resume can include additional skills such as
fluency in a foreign language.
References
You should leave this section out altogether. References are not required at
this stage and stating that 'References are available upon request' is
assumed anyway... so you just end up wasting valuable space!
Additional Optional Sections
You can add additional sections to your resume outline such as volunteer
work, community involvement or honors.
You also have to decide on the layout of your resume. Choose a common
font and medium range font-size, such as 12. Decide how you want to
highlight the headings of the different sections. You can use bold, italics or
underline to highlight section headings. Some people use bold and a larger
font size to highlight their name on the resume.
The last part of your resume will probably receive little focus, so if
you have a marketable skill or outstanding honor you should try to
incorporate them in earlier sections of your resume
